Recently returned from New Orleans where she helped coordinate the Church’s disaster relief actions after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Rev. Susan Taylor, the President of the Founding Church of Scientology of Washington D.C. expressed her pride in the work of Scientology Volunteer Ministers saying,“ These volunteers were spectacular. They traveled hundreds of miles and spent weeks helping people in terrific need of assistance, and everyone I met in Louisiana appreciated their help tremendously.”
Rev. Taylor was among the first D.C. religious leaders to have been presented with the Mayor of D.C.’s Clergy Awards in recognition of extraordinary volunteer community work of the Church.
As its name signifies, the Founding Church of Scientology of Washington D.C. has a special significance in the history of Scientology; it was here in July of 1955 that L. Ron Hubbard established his U.S. headquarters for the Scientology religion. Mr. Hubbard held the position of Executive Director of this church, and researched and formulated most of the basic administrative technology that is still used today in all Scientology churches, missions and groups.
In an essay titled My Philosophy, L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.”
Scientologists from the Founding Church of Scientology Washington, D.C. clearly agree with this philosophy, which they demonstrate by contributing hundreds of hours of volunteer work each week through their community projects, including tutoring of children and adults, and working in an effective anti-drug program called the “Drug-Free Marshals” through which over 25,000 children in the D.C. area have pledged to live drug-free lives over the last several years.
